a picturesque and tranquil hamlet near to the village of St.
Fort and close to the tiny fishing ports of the Gironde estuary.
It is surrounded by vineyards, sunflower fields, and woodland,
and the views are lovely.

and Royan are less than half an hour's drive away. There are
naturist beaches and good surf on the wild Atlantic coast further

beautiful and ancient town. Cognac also is not far away. There
are several good local restaurants nearby.

and the way of life there hasn't changed for years. The climate
is good with long, hot summers and short, mild winters.
